Accurizing a rifle covers a lot of ground.
HOW much is done depends on how much you want to spend. This ranges from simply glass bedding the stock and adjusting the trigger to throwing away everything but the action and bolt and starting over.
Typical accurizing of the action involves using a tap to uniform the threads in the receiver.
Using a lathe to turn the front face of the receiver to a perfectly flat 90 degrees to the threads surface.
Re-cutting the face of the bolt until it's a perfect 90 degrees to the threads.
Lapping the bolt lugs to a near-perfect uniform contact with the receiver lugs.
In this case, since the barrel has to be removed, you're better off to buy a higher grade barrel.
Price is again a function of how much you're willing to pay for.
Action work as above is NOT cheap.

Its already glass bedded with aluminum pillars. and trigger is a crisp 2.5 lbs. I was just wanting to get a little more accuracy out of it without changing the barrel right now. I would like the bolt to be tight and not move so much and have the face polshed so it is smoother to open and close when putting a round in the chamber. If feels like it scrapes the back of the case when I close it. If possibe i would like to eliminate the slopy up and down movement of the bolt when its open. I read somewhere that gunsmith could put sleeves on it to eliminate it.

update Rem.
Sir:
Your Remington is as accurate and about as fine a rifle as is made.
I'd much prefer glass (steel) bedding and free float the bbl. on it and see the difference it mades.
I'm not a fan of "pillar bedding."

Ace,
You can do the hahnd lapping yourself. Buy some JB Bore Paste from Brownell's. It is an abrasive paste developed for the purpose of polishing the bores of rifle barrels. Use a tight fitting patch loaded with the JB and scrub the bore 100 strokes. That will smooth out any tool makes left in the bore from machining. I do that to all of my rifle barrels that are not lapped by the barrel maker, like Hart, Shilen, Kreiger, and other fine barrels that are lapped.
Free float the barrel yourself too, by sanding the inside if the stock barrel channel to free the barrel. Get a good aftermarket trigger like a Timney and install it yourself.
I think your accuracy will improve as it does with my factory rifles.
